New York Swept Atlanta, Extended Their Winning Streak To Eleven Games After Wandy Peralta Got Out Of The Situation Aroldis Chapman Created
New York swept Atlanta,extended their winning streak to eleven games!
When?
Tuesday, Wednesday!
Where?
Atlanta Georgia!
Why?
Because New York defeated Atlanta by a score of 5-1 in the opening game and won their tenth game in a row!
When?
Tuesday!
Why?
Jonathan Loáisiga, Wandy Peralta and Aroldis Chapman added four scoreless frames in relief, Yankees pitchers have held opponents to three runs or fewer in eight of those 10 victories.
Defensively In the second inning Joey Gallo made a diving grab in left to rob an extra-base hit on a ball with a catch probability of 55 percent.
In the third inning Aaron Judge covered 87 feet in center to contain a ball on the warning track without even needing to leave his feet.
Offensively, New York was supported by Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez!
How?
Giancarlo Stanton ripped a 119.2 mph go-ahead two-run double to left field -- the hardest-hit ball in Truist Park history -- in the sixth to deliver a 5-1 win in the opener of the two-game series in Atlanta.
Gary Sanchez hit a two run single in the eighth inning .
In the process New York won their tenth straight game!

Then they won the finale by a score of 5-4!
When?
Last night!
Where?
Atlanta Georgia though closer Arolidis Chapman struggled!
How?
Aroldis Chapman began the ninth with a two-run lead and was only one out from what could have been his 300th career save. Chapman thought he had induced a game-ending groundout from Ozzie Albies, but the Braves second baseman raced down the line at an elite 30.8 feet per second to beat out the throw to first base.Then Aroldis Chapman walked Jorge Soler.
That prompted New York manager Aaron Boone to call to the bullpen to bring in Wandy Peralta to cleanup what Aroldis Chapman created!
That he did!
How?
Wandy Peralta threw nine pitches!
Peralta threw his sinker three times, all for balls. He threw his changeup the other six times, including the final four with a full count. Freeman fouled off five of them, but he put the last one in play: a high fly ball to deep left-center field. Joey Gallo went back to the track -- and corralled the ball in his glove.
For his effort Wandy Peralta became the latest recipient of the belt the Yankees have made a habit of passing around in the locker room to their MVP from each victory. And as the players have attested, the belt has passed between more hands than usual over the course of their winning streak. It was only a matter of time before Peralta claimed it.
